Randy's to the Rescue

October 27, 2015

Early in March one of our Randy’s drivers was heading northbound out of the river valley in Bloomington when a large bird flew into the front of the truck. Unbeknown to the driver, the bird flipped behind the cab of the truck and was sneaking a free ride between the cab and the packer. The bird, was a Great Horned Owl.

Later that day, when he pulled up to the pump, much to his surprise, he happened to see the owl sitting behind the cab! See picture below.

Thanks to the wise thinking of a few Randy’s employees, they called the Raptor Center for a rescue! They sent out one of their raptor recovery experts to get the bird out from behind the cab of the truck. The Raptor Center has taken the bird where it is being nursed back to health.
